Lasagna Soup

The ultimate comfort food – lasagna and soup together! All the flavour of lasagna but in a bowl with a dollop of cottage cheese and shredded mozzarella on top.

This soup is heaven in a bowl! As you know from my lasagna post, I love lasagna! So I was very excited to try this soup. I think it is good enough to make year round, not just in the fall and winter. The beef, vegetables and tomato sauce form the soup part. Add some broken lasagna noodles and top with a generous dollop of cottage cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese and voila, lasagna without all the work.

In a large pot over high heat cook ground beef until no longer pink. Add onion, garlic, carrots, zucchini, and green bell pepper. Sauté until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

While the soup is simmering you can make the cheese topping and cook the noodles.
In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Break the lasagna noodles into large pieces. Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and reserve 1 cup of pasta water. (Note I didn’t have lasagna noodles so I used shell pasta)

If soup is thick you may want to add some reserves pasta water. Add the cooked pasta and stir well.

Serve with a generous dollop of the cottage cheese mixture. The hot soup well melt the cheese right into the bowl!
